At first I was embarrassed about the chick-lit aspect of this book, but then I was laughing too hard to stop reading. How can you not want to read a book with a food writer named Cranky Agnes, a sexy hitman named Shane, a dog named Rhett and pissed-off flamingos. Oh, and a southern mob wedding to add a little hilarity.
I loved this goofy, fun, romantic romp. It had a little hint of the Stephanie Plum novels, only much more entertaining. Agnes is a columnist with a history of losing her temper in a bad way. Shane is a Hitman working for the government. An old house with secrets, a botched dognapping, and connections to the mob bring them together. Humor mixed with a bit of suspense ensues. Good stuff!

This book was entertaining, funny, fast-paced, and just the right amount of ridiculous. I am giving 3 stars because even though I liked reading a smart and cranky female character, I didn't like that she could not control her anger and kept hitting people with her frying pan. Seriously? How is that funny? Also, it was probably a mistake to read two Jennnifer Crusie books in a row, both protagonists were pretty much the same person and that felt lazy to me. Had I waited longer, the book would have felt more fun. I did like this, though!
This was such a good book!!
I have been reading several of Jennifer Cruise's book lately, but I believe this one might be the one I enjoyed the most.
Agnes, a woman who writes a cooking column in the newspaper, is in the middle of preparing for a wedding when someone breaks into her house and tries to kill her. From there on she gets involved in a mistery that brings Shane into her live, a hitman whose uncle is like Agnes' father and who discovers a new way of life by being in contact with her.
So jump in for a witty, sarcastic, with fast-paced dialogue (even though you can read it at your own pace) romantic and suspensed comedy. (I feel like thi might be a bit too twisted)
Agnes was just the right kind of crazy, the one that fights for whats right, who tries to protect the people she loves and feeds them al the time. And the pair that she makes with Shane is a match made in heaven, they are made for one another.
Just a little thing, if English is not your mothertongue (as in my case), be sure that you have a good level, otherwise it can be kind of hard to follow it at some point.
